Carlos Dewayne Hill, 48, male, was shot to death in Marshall, Texas, on the night of Sunday, October 26, 2025. Police say officers were dispatched at about 8:56 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the 1900 block of Bean Street; when they arrived, they found Hill dead at the scene. He was identified as a Marshall resident, and his death was immediately investigated as a homicide.
Neighbors described a burst of shots and a figure running into the dark; early information led investigators to believe the shooter fled on foot before officers got there. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood late into the night and through the following day, gathering shell casings and knocking on doors while crime scene tape sealed off Bean Street. Police Chief Cliff Carruth offered condolences to Hill’s family and vowed to devote resources to finding whoever was responsible.
By Monday, authorities had not announced any arrests, and they did not release a suspect description. Local reports and victim memorial listings recounted the basic facts—Hill’s name, age, and the place and date of his killing—while relatives publicly asked for justice and urged anyone with information to come forward. As of October 29, police were still seeking tips from the public.
Family notices later marked October 26 as the date of Hill’s passing, even as the investigation continued. The quiet residential block where he was found became a landmark of grief in the days that followed, a place where disbelief and sorrow mingled with determination that the case not slip from view. Detectives have maintained that leads are being pursued and that community information could make the difference in identifying the suspect.
